HeyYou

Defamation of character? On the internet? Hhhhmmm....... Ever watch political ads? Of late, they have been nothing BUT attack ads, defaming or otherwise calling into question the character of some political figure or other.. So are we going to see a rash of politicians suing their opponents under such laws???

Two. Slim, and None. I really can't see congress voting into effect campaign finance reform laws that would cut off their gravy train.

Some flavor of legal recourse for trolls that actually cause more than a bit of ire at their insensitivity sure wouldn't hurt.... whether or not something that is workable on a media platform that spans multiple jurisdictions/countries/etc.... is going to be the fun part. Putting a law into place in the UK, isn't going to help if the perps are in the US, or Canda, or Mexico, or China.... etc. While the threat may have some effect, I don't expect it to really hold much water. In my previous post, I was more referring to the particular teen that got busted for making a comment in poor taste... and getting arrested for it. As I see it, the solution for HIM is actually quite simple, deny him access to the internet. End of problem.

Delete the Oblvion.ini found in My Games\Oblivion. Try the game again.

Missing master crash. Look at the little boxes that you check to enable them in Wrye Bash. A red one indicates a missing master. (although, "red" seems to be a matter of opinion.....)

Wow..... so, simply being offensive is enough to get you arrested now? Are they also going to start arresting obnoxious drunks that keep hitting on the same woman, even after she said no? I will grant, that the 'tweet' sent by the teen was out of line, but, seriously? Arrest him for it??? Wow. Have we all grown so thin-skinned, we need a law to protect us from punks on the internet??

Considering that trolls aren't even necessarily in the same COUNTRY as their victims...... I don't see how this is going to make any difference at all.

Might want to try posting your problem in the "official" OBSE thread on the beth forums..... To me, it appears that you are doing everything right... but, it simply doesn't want to work. I really don't know why....

I would dispute the premise that steam adds any value whatsoever to the gaming experience. That's all just a matter of perspective. Steam isn't DRM, in the sense of combating piracy, Steams sole purpose is to kill off the secondary market. Which it does just fine. We shall see how the recent ruling in Europe will affect that.

Foreign money should NEVER be used for a political campaign. Period. Influence peddling would be right at the top of my list for reasons why it shouldn't.

In some cases, it is darn near impossible to dump your 'old' citizenship..... Even going to their consulate, and telling them so doesn't always work. A selection of them have some truly strange and bizarre conditions to accept your renunciation of citizenship.... Others, won't let you get rid of it no matter what you do.... Then there are countries that simply make you a citizen after X amount of time, simply by dint of living there..... Used to be, that joining a foreign military, or holding public office in a foreign country, would automatically strip your US citizenship.... but then, the laws changed, and the court had to prove "intent to abrogate US citizenship"...... Yeah, like that's gonna happen...... Basically, the laws changed to accommodate some of our more pushy allies, so they can retain their dual citizenship, yet hold public office in both countries.... even when those positions are at loggerheads with each other. It is a really screwed up situation, and quite frankly, I wish I hadn't researched it quite so much, as all it tells me, is yet another fashion that my government is screwing me, to benefit some other countries citizens.

I think that relates to the recent changes to the site.... now, instead of the servers tracking what you have read, and what you have not, that information is stored on your local machine. I can see how that would break notifications.......

Apparently, when you become a naturalized US citizen, part of the oath is to renounce your previous citizenship, however, not all countries will accept that. For some, you have to go and speak directly to the consulate of your former country, and even then, they might not accept it. Israel has some strange laws as well...... so, dual citizenship isn't just possible, it's actually quite common.

And then oblivion doesn't launch? Or, does oblivion start, but obse mods just don't work? Are you loading any OBSE plugins?

Well, that's the correct version number. Unofficial patch shouldn't matter.... Do you get the "could not inject dll" error when launching with OBSE loader?

Quite honestly, I don't know exactly how it works...... Off to do some research! :D

Well, it seems that Mitt Romney is having fundraising dinners (at 25-50K per plate.....) in Israel.... ostensibly, the donors are 'dual-citizenship' americans, so technically legal.. He also seems to have done the same thing in London..... My question becomes, is this ethical? Or, is this over the line of suspect campaigning behavior? My Take: Ok, dual citizenship.... born in Israel, living in Israel, business in Israel, with some interests in the US..... looks to me like folks using an exploit to influence american elections in their favor.

Nope. Great place for it actually. What game version do you have?

Actually, it isn't that difficult to ban use of proxies. Only problem is, for some folks, that is the ONLY way they can connect here, due to the way their provider works......

Ginny is correct here. If it weren't for the modding crowd, Morrowind, and Oblivion would have been relegated to the bargain bin long ago. The fact that they can still sell these games at full price (not so much so for morrowind) today, speaks volumes on the value of the modding crowd. One of the problems I see though is, there is enough market out there, that will buy whatever crap game companies put out, and proclaim it as the next best thing since sliced bread, even though it is a bug-ridden pile of bull feces...... and they will shout down anyone that says otherwise. Read thru some of the older threads in the Dawnguard cheats forum, on the Vampire attacks in cities. What to most is an obvious problem is to some, a "feature", that was planned. Either that or, "I don't experience that bug, therefore you are full of it." A fair few folks are unhappy with the direction beth games are taking. They went from RPG's, to Adventure games with a heavy RPG influence, to an action game, with RPG elements..... things keep getting more and more simplified, to appeal to the wider audience. From a business standpoint, yes, that makes sense. That doesn't mean that us folks that actually WANT a "Real" RPG have to like it. And yes, I will continue to whine about it. :D

If that allows you to run some flavor of Windows (and not simply an emulator) on your Mac, that should work.

That being said, I'm still prepared...just in case. I'm not worried about some magical/mystical mumbo-jumbo. I'm concerened about how human beings will act that day and what foolishness they will perpetrate. At the very least, it MIGHT be prudent to fill your tank, go to the ATM and get some extra cash, have some extra canned food at home and if you have a medical condition that requires regular medication, get extra doses. That way IF something weird happens you'll be somewhat ready and if nothing happens you will still be able to use the gas, eat the food and take the meds. Pretty similar to the predictions for Y2K, and then the non-event it turned out to be. Still, doesn't hurt to be prepared. :D

Check on gamefront.

English please?

Do the dead zones move at all? Sometimes they will bite, but later, they won't?
